It has been a difficult week. My father-in-law is in the hospital. My wife has been sick a couple of days from work as well. And now, she has gone to the hospital to be with her dad. I am home with my son. Things don't look good for my father-in-law. He is an honorable man who moved his family out of a war zone. I am saddened, yet I am happy to have learned from him this one thing. We do not have to change our behavior based on the actions of others. He has always done what he thought was right—in spite of the actions of other people. That is a rare and wonderful trait. I asked my wife to let him know this just in case this is the last of his time here on Earth.
